Protecting Immigrant Students Action Kit

Since taking office on January 20, 2025, the Trump-Vance administration has taken countless steps to irreparably harm communities across the country. Our students and immigrant communities are at the forefront experiencing these harms, as law enforcement violates their schools and safest places within their communities, all in the name of immigration enforcement that aims to break apart their families and force beloved community members into the shadows. 

We know that these federal immigration enforcement initiatives are stoking fear and racism within communities, and that students and their families are being forced to stay home from school, work, and other community activities to protect themselves. But by informing our partners about the issues and the rights that they have, we can help communities protect themselves and others from the discrimination committed by federal immigration enforcement. And it shows nationwide – community organizing is slowing down immigration enforcement, 

We hope that by sharing a current landscape and various resources, we can help inform and support organizing efforts within communities so that they may protect themselves and their neighbors and hold their local power structures accountable for supporting its residents.
